Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a journey into the Anglo-Saxon language; a detailed examination of the language and literature of the people who established England in the early centuries of the Christian era. Starting with an exploration of the varied sounds and accents that characterise Anglo-Saxon, the author takes us through the grammar of the language, and provides a detailed analysis of its vocabulary and structure. This book presents us with a rich tapestry of Anglo-Saxon literature, and an illuminating examination of the creative and intellectual achievements of the Anglo-Saxons. The author's approach moves beyond a focus on the language itself to explore the wider literary context of Anglo-Saxon, examining the works and styles of the poets, scholars, and scribes who created this wealth of writing. This study of Anglo-Saxon offers insights that will be of value both to the general reader interested in the roots of English literature, and the language scholar seeking to understand the development of one of the world's great languages.
